This is the best meme apparently! If you search by top; of all time this is the first meme that comes up! Congratulations u/rextraneous , you have the best meme on the internet, so theoretically, when someone asks for what a meme is, this should be what they’re being shown

Hey guys I’m really confused, so u know how there’s a new user restriction to post in r/memes, I tried to post the other day I am like 100 days old and have 5000 karma but I couldn’t post, so I though oh ok I’ll just have to wait longer, but then I saw a guy who posted in the subreddit who had a lot less karma and days old than me, does anybody know why this ???

3

u/rextraneous Jun 07 '20

I wasn’t able to post here until I made a couple posts elsewhere and got upvotes on them. Reddit keeps track of “post karma” and “comment karma” and I think you have to have a certain amount of both to post in some subreddits

NASA built the pyramids in 1858.

The proof is in the name NASA has two A's shaped like pyramids (suspicious isnt it?)

Also no photos exist of the pyramids prior to 1859. Why you ask? Because NASA was still busy building the pyramids in 1858!!!

u/lightgiver Jun 07 '20 edited Jun 08 '20

Flat Earthers don't really deny how big the Earth is. So it's actually very easy to use trig to prove the distance to the sun is much farther than flat Earthers say it is. Using their own estimates for distance the sun would be 4x farther away at sunrise/sunset than noon. Also the light would be 16x dimmer because light fades at a square root. Something they can test themselves with a flashlight. However the sun looks larger at sunrise/sunset. So simple observation contradicts their estimates so much it's obvious even without measurements. The only way to fix this is to have the sun way further out and way bigger. That way it looks nearly the same distance away at the horizon or directly above. However if the earth was flat you then all of the Earth is ether in daytime or night time. Something that is easy to prove is not the case.
